Held at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, Calif., the telecast will be hosted by Taye Diggs who is more than excited to serve as the master of ceremonies.

"I am truly honored and ridiculously excited to be hosting the 24th Annual Critics' Choice Awards, especially since, as an actor, I recognize what a vital role the critics play in the entertainment industry today," he previously shared in a statement to E! News. "We are all looking forward to a big night celebrating the best of the best in TV and film!"
